Chapter 843: Chapter 843: News of the Tower

"Ning, Ning Fan... If you killed the Li family elder, you cannot kill us anymore!"

"Yes, yes, the Li family elder brought disaster on himself, but we have not offended you!"

"If you kill us too, then you really will make mortal enemies with the Eight... no, the Seven Great Families!"

"It’s not too late to stop now!"

Seeing Ning Fan’s gaze turn toward them, everyone’s hearts immediately filled with terror, and they began advising him against violence.

The only ones who could protect them, their patrons, had all fallen, and even sacrificing their lives may not be enough to stop him.

Ning Fan merely glanced at them and said indifferently, "Don’t worry, although you did attack me just now, I know you were only trying to save yourselves. I won’t take your lives."

I’m not some homicidal maniac; killing these people would only increase my enemies for no reason.

Upon hearing his words, the remaining seven family heads breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the Li family elder lying on the ground, they completely disregarded him, not even bothering to take away the body.

This is the cold reality when one falls from power.

Su Han looked around and took the initiative to step forward: "Gentlemen, the Li family has met this fate because they brought it upon themselves. I suggest expelling the Li family from The Greatest Eight!"

Relying on his kinship with Su Qingcheng, Su Han was not worried about Ning Fan harming him.

After all, he hadn’t fallen out with Su Qingcheng yet; if Ning Fan killed him, it would not sit well with Su Qingcheng.

Seeing Ning Fan looking his way, Su Han took the initiative to explain, "Ning Fan, regarding the attack on you earlier, I didn’t want to do it either, but with the other families watching, I couldn’t just act against them."

Ning Fan nodded, indicating he understood.

The gazes of the other family heads turned strange when they looked at Su Han. So this guy knew Ning Fan all along?

You bastard, you only stood up to speak after the Li family was dead, didn’t you!

Many cursed Su Han silently, calling him a sneaky old fox.

Su Han’s actions clearly showed that he wanted to highlight his relationship with Ning Fan, aiming to elevate the Su family’s status through this opportunity.

But the other family heads dared not speak out, afraid that Su Han would destabilize the fragile peace with Ning Fan.

"I agree with the Su family head’s suggestion."

"The Li family is so unreasonable, I agree as well."

"They must be expelled! To clear Mr. Ning’s name!"

Eventually, the other six family heads all agreed with Su Han’s proposal, choosing to strike the Li family from The Eight Great Families.

From then on, the Eight Great Families of the Capital became a thing of the past.

The assets and territories of the Li family would naturally be divided among the other families, which was an outcome everyone was pleased with.

While the one in power is alive, they would choose to help.

But now that both the family head and his predecessor were dead, the decline of the Li family was inevitable, and the other families would show no mercy, striking when necessary.

In a sense, at this moment, all seven families stood on a united front with Ning Fan.

Watching everyone come to a decision, Su Han nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Ning Fan, "Ning Fan, are you satisfied with this outcome?"

"There’s nothing to be satisfied or unsatisfied about," Ning Fan shook his head, "I deal with matters, not people. Whoever wants to kill me, I kill them."

Hearing this, the seven family heads looked at each other, their understanding of Ning Fan deepening.

This kind of man, who lives by swift retribution and doesn’t care about benefits, is what they, as heads of powerful families, fear the most.

Most importantly, Ning Fan indeed had the strength to kill them!

"That’s good, that’s good," Su Han wiped off some sweat, clearly intimidated by Ning Fan’s might, "If there’s nothing else, then shall we take our leave?"

"Wait."

Ning Fan suddenly spoke, startling the family heads who were ready to leave, freezing them in place.

Damn it!

Is this guy suddenly regretting his decision and planning to kill us all to tie up loose ends?

Seeing the fearful look on everyone’s faces, Ning Fan smiled, softening his tone, "I have kept you here because I want to ask you about something."

"Have you ever heard of a strange tower within the Capital?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the family heads couldn’t help but look at each other in confusion.

A tower?

What tower?

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Ning Fan patiently explained, "The tower may not necessarily look like a tower, but it must be unique, such as being impossible to locate or constructed in a rarely visited place."

Su Han frowned and asked, "Besides that, are there any other clues?"

Ning Fan shook his head, "All I know is that it’s a tower, but I’m unclear about any other specific clues."

Hearing this, the family heads were somewhat speechless.

Without a single clue, where would they start looking for the tower?

Only Ning Caiwen, the Ning family head, visibly reacted upon hearing about the tower; his face suddenly changed.

A tower... with the Ning surname...

Certain past events slowly emerged in his mind, causing Ning Caiwen’s heart to race.

Could it really be what he was thinking of?

"Well, we’ll have our family’s people search for some records and see if we can find any clues for you."

Su Han thought that since he had already decided to help, he might as well go all the way.

With Su Qingcheng entering Kunlun, they, the Su family, would still have Ning Fan, a powerful protector, in the mundane world.

The position of the number one family in the Capital seemed to be beckoning him.
